Does installing a PSS shaft seal make sense? I have a stuffing box that drips a little and gets adjusted occasionally by the yard. I imagine it would take the yard a few hours to remove and replace stuffing box with PSS. The boat is out of the water and this would be a good time to do it if I am going to at all. What just wondering about the pros and cons. the web site indicates that oil and grease on the bellows is a no no and my transmission leaks slightly so I don’t how this would affect the life of the bellows.

Yes, I am very happy with the PSS seal on my 26C, keeps me out of the limbo dance down the starboard lazzarette to adjust the stuffing box and provides a dry bilge.
